Who am I? I am a screwed-up blogger and an active blog reader since 2007. A soulful dreamer who believes that passion is life and a person who is looking for meaning, just like any other human being in this world. A super girl wannabe who is currently taking chances and chasing pavements, while keeping up with time and living life in general. This is me, and this blog is the outlet of my random thoughts. (^___^)
Most of the posts in this blog revolve around Asian dramas, movies and pop culture, so please proceed at your own risk. Don't say I didn't warn you. Haha! Have a wonderful and blessed day! :)

I've been listening to a Korean singer named Anna Son who just revealed to the public her debut single ep with two songs "Just 5 Minutes" and "I Live Because I Can't Die" on the 9th of September. The girl has a good voice, and according to reports, she was a former trainee of SM Entertainment alongside the popular idols from the said agency that we know of today from groups DBSK/TVXQ/THSK, Super Junior and Girls' Generation. She trained from 2000-2004 after winning an SM Ent sponsored singing competition in 2000. It was said that she withdrew from the intensive training in 2004 because of health reasons, and that if she didn't quit, she could have been a member of Girls' Generation which was originally said to be a girl group that was planned to have more than 9 members, after SM saw the success of Super Junior which debuted in 2005, their first ever large-scale group experiment.
Netizens have been expressing their regrets recently in Korean search engines through comments on how such a talented girl like her missed out a lot of things in her music career through the years. Though I agree to it, I also feel that this girl is in for something even more. 10 years later, with a new entertainment agency backing her up, she is now starting to traverse her journey towards becoming a star, and is all set to debut as a solo singer. She might not have been destined to debut as a member of Girls' Generation; however, I can see that she has more or less a bright future ahead of her, just like her many SME friends (DBSK/TVXQ,Super Junior and SNSD/Girls' Generation) who are enjoying the limelight at the moment. I like this ballad from her latest single. It's called "I Live Because I Can't Die". I tried my best to find the english translation to the song but I failed. Anyhow, if you love ballads, I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed after listening to the song.
Here's the audio of her other track, "Just 5 Minutes":
Not a lot of people know (or would even understand), but I am also a victim of drama obsession. I've been camping in dramalandia since I was 13 years old, and that's where you will most likely find me when I have nothing to do.
One of the symptoms of this disease is daydreaming about dramas everywhere whether you are at work, walking down the stairs, sleeping, even as you are walking...creepy isn't it? Hahaha!
I am also a big Asian music fan and I think Asian music rocks! I go back and forth from Cpop to Kpop and Jpop, so I may be different (and strange) compared to other people that you can find around. I am an elder sister , a dreamer , a believer , a gamer , wanderer , blogger , an optimist , an ultimate foodie and a, hands down, fangirl . I love reading books , writing , music , photography and traveling.
I am a nurse by profession who is also a copy editor and a freelance writer . I enjoy learning how to play musical instruments and learning various languages . I am crazy, loud, spontaneous, free-spirited and most of the time, a klutz.
Eren Asentista a.k.a. Eray, 23, female, from Dumaguete City, Philippines. My personality...it's complicated. :D Believe me, you wouldn't want to know who I am. Hahaha! XD
I am currently watching...
In the coming days, I plan to watch...
In Asian Entertainment, I fancy...
(This is still lacking, but this is more or less it. LOL! I will most likely be updating this in the future to accommodate my growing list of biases but check em out!)
The things that I want to do before I die are the following:
An Asian cruise. Templestay in Korea. An African safari adventure. Backpacking to Europe. Traveling through the European railways.
